IMO go for Teins, cause they are rated, personally driven cars with both, teins crap over kings...
yeah thats true, and teins are most likely more durable anyway considering their reputation and compatability with stock. I'd be running oem shocks so i think i'm leaning toward s-techs
yup... Not hating on Kings, there are fine for DD, but once u start pushing abit... u can tell difference between kings and teinsQuote:

This is a bit misleading - King super lows drop an Ek around 50mm where the S-Techs drop the car only 30mm - obviously the lower spring will reduce the life of the standard shocks quicker. Kings do make just a "low" which works just fineQuote:

S-tech springs :thumbsup:
Eagerly waiting for my Gli Cluster to arrive in the mail, so my CXi finally has a tacho!
In the meantime, replacing power steering fluid this weekend, pulling my door trim off to try and stop the window control arms from rattling, installing a Pioneer head unit & trying to find out exactly where my squaeky clutch comes from!
Also needs a good wash, but rain is on it's way this week, so im not sure if there's any real point..
nice DIYs
good info here guys
Nice, you got a good attitude, attention to detail, fixing little squeaks and knocks is a good idea, once there gone you feel alot better about the car, while you got the door trim off its a good idea to spray the rubber window rails with some silicone spray just incase they have dryed out on the inside, not only will your window function better but you will increase the life span of the power window motor (if they are power ) less strain..Quote:

serviced my car and installed itr shift linkage..
May I ask where you getting the tacho from? Need one for mine as well.Quote:

Also trying to identify a sort of clunky rattle that seems to be coming from the rear left wheel/suspension when driving over bumps or pot holes. I may just be paranoid, because it's not loud & I can only hear it early in the morning on the way to work, when everything is quiet..
Or it may just be my left side skirt rattling, because the 'clip' that holds it near the back wheel is broken, so the skirt hangs a bit lower than the other one & can easily bounce up and down. Anyone recommend something to glue the clip back together? $50 super glue that can fuse a gorilla's hands together?

Heres some german ones, US ones are often in MPH unless they have come out of imports.
Hey mate check your rear camber arm on the side that is making the clunky sound.. (make sure its sitting correctly) have you changed them or taken them off for some reason ? and this is might sound silly but is your wheel on tight ? lolQuote:

IMO i dont think the its the skirt unless its like badly hanging off the car lol ( if it is the skirt use industial grade double sided tape to hold it on, it WILL work and your not running the risk of snapping ur skirt off if you decide to paint it one day.. (if you use some sort of super glue.. )
good luck post up what it was when u find out :)
:thumbsup::thumbsup: thanks heapsQuote:

My internet is screwing up BADLY, so for the third time: New rims, $140 chinese 'roadstone' tyres = MASSIVE improvement to handling.

FOUND A DENT.
Just above the rear left wheel arch.
No paint scratched off, there's just a small dent there.. As if someone's come along and slammed it with their knee.
I'm peaking though. Could only notice in when light was shining in the right direction.. So I don't know how long it's actually been there.
Hi dude. Do you mean $140 each for the roadstone tyres? I hope not :)Quote:

For that price you could find a japanese or korean tyre of higher quality and design
DIY replaced power steering fluid, steering is smooth as now :). Installed a new Sony head deck.
Still need to remove door trim to try and stop the window control arm from rattling.. Also need to see if I can stop the door locks from rattling.

One advantage of standard ones is they are flexible plastic so they have some give in them if bumped
